You Asked for an Age of Hegemony, and You Wrote 1984?

Zhao Gao transmigrated. The National Literature Competition. Topic: Hegemony! The moment he saw the prompt, one line came to mind: “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” What could be more authoritarian than 1984? By the time they finished reading, the judges were completely shaken! “Everyone else writes about authoritarianism by glorifying emperors and piling on flowery words about loyalty. But Zhao Gao’s authoritarianism is the kind that makes you wake up in the middle of the night with a chill running down your back!” “Instead of ‘Long live the emperor,’ I prefer the kind in 1984: true authoritarianism doesn’t make you kneel. It makes you unaware that you’re kneeling!” Wang Teng, the top student who’d been caught red-handed ghostwriting before the competition, deleted every post on Weibo overnight. And then... For the wuxia theme, he wrote The Sentimental Swordsman, Ruthless Sword. For the science fiction theme, he wrote The Three-Body Problem. For the apocalypse theme, he wrote The Wandering Earth. As one masterpiece after another came into the world, every viewer went wild! P.S. A new book is launching! Five chapters a day! Extra chapters for likes! Extra chapters for good reviews!
